Duplexing

When maximum stiffness and resistance to shaft misalignment is

desired, pairs of angular-contact bearings can be used in an

arrangement called duplexing.

Duplex bearings have rings ground with an offset.

When pairs are clamped together, a preload is established.


Duplexing Arrangements

Three common duplexing arrangements:

(a) DF mounting – Face to face, good for radial and thrust loads

from either direction

(b) DB mounting – Back to back, same as DF, but with greater

alignment stiffness

(c) DT mounting – Tandem, good for thrust only in one direction


Fig. 11–24

Preferred Fits

Rotating ring usually requires a press fit

Stationary ring usually best with a push fit

Allows stationary ring to creep, bringing new portions into the

load-bearing zone to equalize wear


Preloading

Object of preloading

◦ Remove internal clearance

◦ Increase fatigue life

◦ Decrease shaft slope at bearing


Alignment

Catalogs will specify alignment requirements for specific bearings

Typical maximum ranges for shaft slopes at bearing locations


Enclosures & Seals

Common shaft seals to exclude dirt and retain lubricant

Bearing Life Definitions

Bearing Failure: Spalling or pitting of an area of 0.01 in2

Life: Number of revolutions (or hours @ given speed) required for failure.

Rating Life: Life required for 10% of sample to fail.

◦ For a group of bearings

◦ Also called Minimum Life or L10 Life

Median Life: Average life for 50% of sample to fail.

◦ For many groups of bearings

◦ Also called Average Life or Average Median Life

◦ Median Life is typically 4 or 5 times the L10 Life


Load Rating Definitions

Catalog Load Rating, C10 : Constant radial load that causes 10% of

a group of bearings to fail at the bearing manufacturer’s rating life.

◦ Depends on type, geometry, accuracy of fabrication, and material of bearing

◦ Also called Basic Dynamic Load Rating, and Basic Dynamic Capacity

Basic Load Rating, C : A catalog load rating based on a rating life

of 106 revolutions of the inner ring.

◦ The radial load that would be necessary to cause failure at such a low life is unrealistically high.

◦ The Basic Load Rating is a reference value, not an actual load.


Load Rating Definitions

Static Load Rating, Co:

Static radial load which corresponds to a permanent deformation of

rolling element and race at the most heavily stressed contact of

0.0001d.

◦ d = diameter of roller

◦ Used to check for permanent deformation

◦ Used in combining radial and thrust loads into an equivalent radial load

Equivalent Radial Load, Fe:

Constant stationary load applied to bearing with rotating inner ring

which gives the same life as actual load and rotation conditions.


Using a regression equation

to represent the line,

◦ a = 3 for ball bearings

◦ a = 10/3 for roller bearings (cylindrical and tapered

roller)

Load-Life Relationship

Nominally identical groups of bearings are tested to the life-failure

criterion at different loads.

A plot of load vs. life on log-log scale is approximately linear.



Applying Eq. (11–1) to two load-life conditions,

Denoting condition 1 with R for catalog rating conditions, and

condition 2 with D for the desired design conditions,

The units of L are revolutions. If life is given in hours at a

given speed n in rev/min, applying a conversion of 60 min/h,

Solving Eq. (a) for FR, which is just another notation for the

catalog load rating,



The desired design load FD and life LD come from the problem

statement.

The rated life LR will be stated by the specific bearing

manufacturer. Many catalogs rate at LR = 106 revolutions.

The catalog load rating C10 is typically used to find a suitable

bearing in the catalog.

◦ a = 3 for ball bearings

◦ a = 10/3 for roller bearings



It is often convenient to define a dimensionless multiple of rating

life

Combining Loads


Combined Radial and Thrust Loading

When ball bearings carry both an

axial thrust load Fa and a radial load

Fr, an equivalent radial load Fe that

does the same damage is used.

A plot of Fe/(VFr) vs. Fa /(VFr) is

obtained experimentally.

V is a rotation factor to account for

the difference in ball rotations for

outer ring rotation vs. inner ring

rotation.

◦ V = 1 for inner ring rotation

◦ V = 1.2 for outer ring rotation

Combined Radial and Thrust Loading

It is common to express the two

equations as a single equation

where

i = 1 when Fa /(VFr) ≤ e

i = 2 when Fa /(VFr) > e

X and Y factors depend on geometry

and construction of the specific

bearing.

Equivalent Radial Load Factors for Ball Bearings

X and Y for specific bearing obtained from bearing catalog.

Table 11–1 gives representative values in a manner common to

many catalogs.


Table 11–1

Equivalent Radial Load Factors for Ball Bearings

X and Y are functions of e, which is a function of Fa/C0.

C0 is the basic static load rating, which is tabulated in the catalog.Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design

Table 11–1

Tapered Roller Bearings

Straight roller bearings can carry large radial loads, but no axial

load.

Ball bearings can carry moderate radial loads, and small axial

loads.

Tapered roller bearings rely on roller tipped at an angle to allow

them to carry large radial and large axial loads.

Tapered roller bearings were popularized by the Timken Company.


Tapered Roller Bearings

Two separable parts

◦ Cone assembly

Cone (inner ring)

Rollers

Cage

◦ Cup (outer ring)

Rollers are tapered so virtual

apex is on shaft centerline

Taper allows for pure rolling

of angled rollers

Distance a locates the

effective axial location for

force analysis


Mounting Directions of Tapered Roller Bearings

Mount pairs in opposite

directions to counter the axial

loads

Can be mounted in direct

mounting or indirect

mounting configurations

For the same effective spread

ae, direct mounting requires

greater geometric spread ag

For the same geometric

spread ag, direct mounting

provides smaller effect

spread ae

Typical Catalog Data (Fig. 11–15)


Induced Thrust Load

A radial load induces a thrust reaction due to the roller angle.

K is ratio of radial load rating to thrust load rating

K is dependent on specific bearing, and is tabulated in catalog


Equivalent Radial Load

The equivalent radial load for tapered roller bearings is found in

similar form as before,

Timken recommends X = 0.4 and Y = K

Fa is the net axial load carried by the bearing, including induced

thrust load from the other bearing and the external axial load

carried by the bearing.

Only one of the bearings will carry the external axial load
